I have almost no time today after getting back home late last night and having to catch up and take care of a bunch of stuff left over from the weekend. So this is a very abbreviated series preview.

P/PA = pitches per PA [avg~3.8], nBB = uBB + HBP, Sw = swinging [avg~45%], Ct = contact [avg~81%], Qual+ = a measure of quality of batted balls [avg=100, higher is better]
No, I did not know that it would be possible for a batter have a Qual+ below zero. Thanks, Carlos Peguero.

I do not know how I feel in a baseball-sense about Josh Kinney getting the second most batters faced over the last four weeks, but I do know that it surprised me and feels unexpected. He sure does get a lot of strikeouts. And also walks. That's over 60% of match ups ending in one of those two outcomes.
